A ver.... la fachada es fascinante. La zona q habla de Saramago es muy muy interesante pero, es de pago. Las ruinas romanas no dan para mucho la verdad pero son gratuitas. Vamos q puedea entrar en el edificio pero lo chulo te lo pierdes sino pagas. Como curiosidad, en las raices del olivo q esta justo enfrente descansan parte de las cenizas del Nobel
Una hermosa inmersión en la vida y obra de Saramago. ¡El último piso es un parque de diversiones para los amantes de su obra! Lo mejor es el olivo del frente, donde reposan las cenizas de Saramago. Una gran experiencia literaria e histórica. Y el museo es hermoso, se pueden contemplar ruinas romanas que transmiten mucho.
Casa señorial en Lisboa, en la que destaca la curiosa fachada que le da nombre, con unos picos o figuras geométricas en forma de pirámide, muy originales. Dentro se encuentra la Fundación José Saramago y justo enfrente hay un olivo en el que descansan las cenizas del escritor.
